Background:
Routine :review of the daily syndicated column of newsmen Iden 1
and Iden 2 in early 1962 developed indications that classified infor_µiation,
sometimes code word material, was being utilized as the basis for a high per-
centage of their columns. Although much of the information contained in the
columns was rbled, it was apparent that key points were frequently direct
quotes from classified reports and summaries of recent vintage.

was continued until mid-l:.1:!:!13}_25)?._, __cl.t ~hlch time the tele-
phonic c;overage was dis continued to coincide with the retirement of the Dire cto::·
of Security. Knowledge of the activity, beyond a limited few in the Office of
Secul"ity directly involved in processing the acquired data, is indicated as being
limited
. . to

General CoWlsel. Subsequently the DCI advised that he had briefed the Attorney
General, the Secretary of Defense and the Director of the Defense Intelligence
Agency. Regular briefings of the DCI were conducted by the Director of curity
throughout the tunure of the ope ration.
Information Developed:
Project Mockingbird was extremely productive in developing sources of
data, both classified and unclassified, to the two newsmen, as a result of a
daily telephone conversation the two men would conduct after the senior mem-
ber of the team, Iden 1 ~ would complete the re-write of raw
data left for him in the office by Iden 2 It became apparent that Iden 2
acquired most of the sensitive data, and t:..1-iat he acquired it in highly accurate
form. The obvious garbling of the data occurred in the re-write by Iden 1.
11
At first it was believed that the rbling was a by-product of Iden s regu-
lar state of intoxication; however, later it became apparent that the garbling
was used to disguise the source.

EYES ONLY MOCKINGBIR n
The newsmen 1 s sources were wide- ranging, and much of the information
provided to them by these sources never saw print. In a number of cases
the writers specifically noted tha.t such-and- such an item could not be used
in any form b.:::ca.u.se it could be directly attributed to the source.
SECRET
b. Iden 2 .• by far the most active of the two men, had the remai
contacts. Monitors of MOCKINGBIRD were frequently amazed at the
sheer bulk of information Iden 2would acquire in the course of a day.
Most of the highly classified information mentioned as such in the
conversations is directly attributable to Iden 2' s sources. Iden 2
made frequent reference to his close association i.vith i Iden 11
~, ar;\i~ir: OFl~.. discussion i.vi;:h his White House so•.irce
promised a niden 12" in exchange r a report he sub-
sequently received from \Vhite House records. {Iden 2had taken
a leave of absence from ., the column the previous year to assist
in an unsuccessful political bid of Iden 13 .}
·---------------·---·-------· ---
on.·e-·significant factor developed by MOCKINGBIRD was the ability of the
newsmen to obtain '\Varnings OT guidance regarding possible threats to their
acti vi ties. For example:

of the meeting dealt with "pot shots u being taken at the DCI and the DCI' s
concern that the Administration was planning to "unload him or l<.ick hio
upstairs. rt In a subsequent conversation, Iden 2 advised Iden l
that he {Iden :). had been cautioned to be a little care.ful in what he said to

"Iden Iden 14 , he said, is very close to another per son
in CIA, with loyalty like that to Mr. McCone. Iden 2indicated that his
source had· advised that Iden _ had 11 a cou9le of meetings rr 'vi th this
other, unnamed, person "this week, rr and that Iden 14 1 s ~ visits to
Iden l nmay be both friendly and a surveillance job. rt (1 Iden l4
was not a'l.vare of MOCKINGBIRD, but was cooperating v.rith the Director
of Security because of the mutuaL.concern at Iden 1 1 s and Iden 2 1 s classi-
fied revelations. He, indeed, had met "\vi th the Director of Security both

prior to and after. his visit to Iden 1 ) Iden 2 s source of this informa-
tion was never identified.
